OK even at the risk of being flamed... I am going to ask another question
about tires.

My situation - a 91 carat with 195-75-14 LTX M&S Michelin tires.  They
have had it and need to be replaced. I have been searching for some time
trying to figure out which way to go.  Yes, Yes I have searched the
archives many times over.  Most of the recommendations are from westy
owners loaded to the hilt with stuff and are heading into the back country
safari.  I am interested in a good highway tire that rides nice, has good
road manners and is relatively quiet.  No big trees to climb and I am not
hauling 90 sheets of drywall (although I could.)

Perhaps I have found my answer when I saw John�s review (well done) on the
Firestone Affinity LH30.  It looks reasonable.  No one seemed to offer any
information to the contrary so everyone concurs right?.  Before I lay down
the cash I would like some 2nd opinions.   Because I have read researched
this to death, I have now become somewhat paranoid about acquiring the 6
or 8 ply sidewall that many of you are recommending.  As I researched this
tire it appears to be a passenger tire, and not having �stiff� sidewalls.
I am correct in this assumption? I this is correct, for my use should I
care?  Is going from a 195-75 to a 215-70 a big deal?  Am I missing
something obvious?

Thanks in advance for any responses.  I know that this will drive some of
you mad and I apologize for that.  As the tire landscape has changed I
haven�t seen anyone ask a question specific to my needs � which can�t be
that much different from many wolfy and carat owners out there.  Sorry for
the long post.
